They are slightly different sizes, and as such we have two separate cover sizes. The Scrapbook covers will fit standard scrapbooks that measure 335mm (H) x 245mm (W). The Clever Kiwi Scrapbook covers will fit Clever Kiwi branded scrapbooks which measure 340mm (H) x 240mm (W).

As the scrapbook cover is a large cover we have included a double sided low-tack tape to help hold the cover in position. Some people choose not to use the tape, the cover stays on fine without it.

No, the covers slide on and fit snugly until you are ready to take them off, there is no need for any glue.

It will depend on your child but if they are looked after they will last for years.

Our covers are made from Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) that has the recycling code 4, and are accepted in many soft plastics recycling programmes.

Yes, our covers contain no PVC or PVC plasticisers (click here for the Wikipedia overview on PVC plasticisers).

PVC is usually quite thick and has a 1-2mm seal running horizontally and vertically around the cover. The recycling code for PVC is 3. The additives used to make PVC soft have been associated with a number of health risks. Click here to read the Wikipedia article.
Greenpeace described PVC as the most environmentally damaging plastic due to its toxicity and difficulty to recycle.

We manufacture our covers using some recycled materials. These recycled materials contain many imperfections due to the different types of plastic mixed into the materials that we use. When we seal and cut our covers the hot knife can sometimes exaggerate the imperfections found in the recycled materials resulting in small bumps along the top and bottom edges.

Yes, the name and book labels are safe for the dishwasher and microwave. To ensure your labels keep looking great, we recommend that you stick the label onto the item you are naming and leave it for at least 12 hours before putting them into the microwave or dishwasher. That way the label has time to make a strong adhesive bond with the item.

If this has happened for a label, please send us a picture of the labelled item so we can see what’s involved and look for a solution together. It is probably due to the label not having enough time to cure the item you are naming. Also please be aware that the labels will have issues adhering to rough surfaces.

Please see our handy instructions here. An instruction sheet is also sent with the labels so you have got the information when you need it.

We have several helpful hints for label placement on clothing here. This helpful sheet is also included with your order so you’ll have the information when you need it.

Oh dear! If the iron-on label starts to shrivel or melt, this means your iron’s heat setting is too high and you might have forgotten to add the layer of baking paper between the iron and the label/fabric. If you iron-on the labels without the baking paper, the labels will shrivel.

Iron-on labels: 45mm wide x 13mm high
Personalised name labels: 45mm wide x 12mm high
Personalised book labels: 45mm wide x 30mm high
